Program: .

Oscillatory activity at various frequency ranges have been observed in various areas of the brain (hippocampus, entorhinal cortex, olfactory bulb among others), and are believed to be important for cognitive functions such as learning, memory, navigation and attention. These rhythms have bee studied at the single cell level, as the result of the interaction of a neuron's intrinsic properties, at the network, as the result of the interaction between the participating neurons and neuronal populations in a given brain region, and at higher levels of organization involving several of these regions. The advances in this field have benefited from the interaction between experimental and theoretical approaches. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together both experimentalists and theorists with the goal of discussing their results and ideas on the underlying mechanisms that govern the generation of these rhythms at variouls levels of organization, and their functional implications for cognition.
